6 Magnitude Quake Hits Valentine’s Day

I’m not saying about the earthquake to come but to the people behavior during this day. May I ask you, what is important in this occasion? Mostly people believe it’s a lover’s day. When I roamed around it’s not only lovers going on date, others on firing squad, dating as a group of family and friends. Let us focus on lovers date, well “ang sarap talaga magmahal” but love without lust is quite boring.

What is Valentine’s Day?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Valentine’s Day^[1][2][3] or Saint Valentine’s Day^[1] is an annual holiday held on February 14 celebrating love and affection between intimate companions.^[1][3] Officially named by Pope Gelasius I in 496 AD in honor of one or more early Christian martyrs named Valentine, the holiday is traditionally a day on which lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as “valentines“). The holiday first became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.

That was the old tradition but now people think of it as “a fucking day”. Well, as I observed hotels and motels were fully booked. Lovers and fake lovers, marriage or not, same gender relationship and minors were doing it. It’s a big deal if you don’t have a date and if you date be sure to score. Some ladies surrender their flag in this kind of situation just to make her boyfriend happy and fulfill. Don’t be fooled of the word “I Love You” and “I Will Mary You” if you are not ready. Guys sometimes abused this phrases.  Take note, “it is traditionally a day on which lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as “valentines”)”. Love making is far beyond and blessed for couples only. If you like to do it for fun then, be it but be responsible.

Actually if you realize what is meant by my title, in Pinoy context it was a joke “lilindol na na naman kasi Valentines Day dami magtotxxxxx…“ It might be 6 or sex magnitude.

 

When Can We Go Home – OFW?

I miss a lot of things happened in the Philippines for almost a half decade now. The occasions like anniversaries, weddings, fiestas, Christmas and New Year ‘coz here in Middle East nothing to celebrate. More so, I am looking forward to work in my country soon. We are expecting for a change this coming election for so long. Yet in the survey, we cannot assure changes. Why?

Here’s the January 2010 Survey for President and Senator;

“Sila Na Naman?”

Bayang Pilipinas gising! Ano ba itong pinaggagawa natin? Pagkatapos ng anim na taon na wala man lang ginawang matino tong mga senador natin eh heto na naman sila namamayagpag sa survey at mukhang pagdudusahan na namn natin sa susunod na anim na taon. Maawa naman tayo sa bayan natin at pimili naman tayo ng mga taong karapat dapat na maging senador at yung talagang makakatulong sa pag ahon sa bayan natin. Ano ba ang pinagbabasehan natin para ang mga itong ito ay ibalik sa senado? Yung mga karapat dapat ay siya pang mga nangungulelat at yung mga hindi karapat dapat ay nasa tuktok at nangunguna pa. Pwede ba… makonsiyensya at mahiya naman kayo sa bayang Pilipinas. Lord magpadala ka sana ng malakas na kidlat at ng matauhan ang bayang Pilipinas sa mga pinaggagagawa.

I feel sad that the same people top the survey. Maybe, history repeats itself and it will happen again that no improvements to be expected from them. It’s the same scenario of rotten political situation of My Philippines My Philippines. Or we, people have to change our preferences of choosing candidates. Baka tayo ang kailangan magbago? Because these politicians had no satisfaction, they will run, run, and run. Whereas, we vote, vote and vote.

Same old story…

Same people…

Same politics…

Same promises…

Same tradition…

How can we have changes?

Kabataan pag-asa ng bayan, paano yan mali naman tinuturo ng mga nakakatanda. O baka kailangan na mas bata ang tatakbo sa halalan?

Too stressful is our politics, “Ang tatanda na ng  mga to di pa rin alam kung ano ang tama at mali.”

In primary school, you only have to answer between “correct or wrong” or “yes or no” and not maybe. If you choose other else, you will fail the exam which is right minus wrong resulting to your negative ratings.

I know that surveys influences us but please don’t be fooled.

 

MMDA Urinal Project

MMDA Proposed Urinal

I don’t really appreciate the idea of putting up temporary urinal along EDSA. If I were a foreigner my first impression is totally bad and negative. Think about it.

First thing, one of the people calls of nature is to urinate. Before it happen we all know when to urinate. But since some of us act like a dog and pee everywhere. Hereby; people of MMDA come up with this great idea in order to answer that personal problem is should be provided by urinal basin along the highway covered with pink attractive design to be more presentable. Although a lot of establishments like restaurant, café’s, malls, offices along the highway to make use and favor of their facilities.

MMDA Urinal Project

My point is that they just tolerating undisciplined people to urinate anytime and everywhere. What will happen if you are not in EDSA and since it was already a hobby to pee anywhere and yet no urinal basin is available? In this case, tolerating remain people undisciplined and now it becomes a mannerism. Like our problems with the trash even you put garbage can every feet and yet people do the same, it’s useless.

Di na nga kayang sugpuin ng MMDA ang mga traffic violators, street vendors, garbage and kulurom dagdag trabaho pa yang magbabantay sa mambubuso. O baka ito naman ang ilalabag ng mga pasaway sa MMDA matapos ang mga nahuhuling nangungutong, maririnig mo na lang sa Tabloid, “MMDA personnel huli sa akto nambubuso”. Please wag na lang gawin yan. 

I would rather suggest the people of MMDA and the government to provide permanent public toilet in crowded places than this temporary unwanted structure. I remember politicians were proud of accomplishing waiting shed, flag pole, lamp post, school fence and the likes which are good only for a year. In fairness to MMDA if you are planning to does something please think of the future.

 

It Was Known Since Before

It seems the news was true. One of these mind problems of government employee is corruption. I do believe that a person who has a sound mind will not do anything stupid or against the law. Philippines is one of the corrupt government in Asia and the survey said between 35-45% of public funds goes to individual officials. It’s quite alarming and who can deny it if you can see the real picture in it. Of course, it reflects a poor government services to the people.

I always hear connotation, regarding business operation say’s “it’s better to privatized government own and controlled corporation or GOCC to give better services to the people”, and it’s annoying in the since that I heard it from the mouth of a government worker or officials more so to a politicians. They don’t even think that they were part of it.

Some of their workers are not customer oriented. Private employees work with honors and dignity than government officials. Many personal businesses and corporations succeeded with stable financial statements. More so scholars and top notchers chose to work in a private institution rather than in our government.

I keep on asking why we can’t succeed. We have taxes, resources, people and power. Is the country can’t afford to hired people with principle in life that makes private firms progressive? I think we can, the only thing is that they have to accommodate first their family, extended family, relatives and friends with “Utang na Loob” without observing the standard recruitment qualifications.

 

Relief Operation As A Tool

Why every time disasters happened in our country politicians are blaming one another? Tastelessly, oppositions are blaming the administration where in fact they are also officials and part of the current administration. May problema na nga, nagsisihan pa. The officials of the Philippines government must help one another to boost the economy and before they can gain the trust of the ordinary citizens and of the international community. This is one of the main reasons why our government doesn’t excel in all areas. Pag kaaway di pwede tulungan. Best examples are unfinished government projects covered by grasses and molds and if finished, the projects done beyond the original contract and in a longer period of time. I don’t expect that bayanihan exist in the heart of government officials. Isn’t it?

relief operation

We heard and we saw, our government officials have their own way of sympathizing typhoon victims. First of all, those who plan to run for higher political position in 2010 have their own relief operations. I confused if what government or foundation they represented. They spend money from their own pocket as what we heard but we don’t even know where their government funds goes. We always asked this question not only in this kind of situation but even in the ordinary days. We haven’t seen any tangible or long term projects which are tantamount to the budget and funds they received every year. I also don’t know how party list group responses in this scenario. They are so silent. Anyway and the basic is every time they help unfortunate people goes to their credit. Natuwa naman si Juan sa kapirangot na tulong pantawid gutom at hindi panghabangbuhay.

Why they can’t follow the image of outstanding non-government organization, no politics and responding calamities more faster? Why most of the donations help goes to this group rather than directly to the government? Because of being unfairness, not prepared, covered by corruptions, insincerity or because if they help victims they do it for “pakitang tao lang”.
